Breaking Down Your Business | Small Business | Business Owners | Entrepreneurship | Leadership

Brad Farris & Jill Salzman tackle the most complex small business questions of our day. "Why can't I hire competent employees?" "How do I make more money without driving myself nuts?" "How can I take over the world". They’ll get to the bottom of these mysteries with help from entrepreneurial geniuses, product pushers, brilliant branders and a ragtag team of moguls intent on magnifying profit. The soothsayers of success have arrived, and you don’t want to miss the priceless insights of these prophets of profit. All wrapped up in 60 mins of 41% mediocre business advice and 54% tomfoolery. It's the ultimate business owner podcast, and self-proclaimed the most entertaining business podcast in the world.

Your job is no longer "doing the thing" -- as the leader of your growing agency your job is to build the system in which "the thing" gets done. 

If you have to do it, your growth is stalled!
